If it reads as gibberish, you're too old. If it makes perfect sense, you're too young. Somewhere in between those ages is the funny zone, where you can sorta understand what it's meant to be doing.
I've got over a thousand in Space Engineers, although some of that is from leaving it on overnight to refine materials. Or possibly exiting the game, but forgetting to actually leave the main menu. Does Steam track time when the computer is asleep?
But I've likely got close to ten times that number in Dwarf Fortress. I've been playing it off and on for close to a decade and a half now, and when I get into it whole days can just fly by.
Satisfactory scratches that same itch, in a totally different way. Adding that third dimension throws a lot of Factorio people off, because it makes it 'too easy'- if you build it wrong, it's fine, just go up a level.
Nah fam, play some more. Just going over the top song gonna cut it off the first few tiers. Especially if you want your factory to look good.
Likely for the same reasons that any airport near a body of water is built. Layman's guesses would be ease of embarking/disembarking, less likely to be affected by weather, standard airplanes are more common...
Not missed approach, but Wikipedia talks about an aircraft that had an engine explode on takeoff from here. The pilot decided that it would be better to fly to the next airport over rather than attempt to land here.
I've never really delved into the AI copyright debate before, so forgive my ignorance on the matter.
I don't understand how an AI reading a bunch of books and rearranging some of those words into a new story, is different to a human author reading a bunch of books and rearranging those words into a new story.
Most AI art I've seen has been... Unique, to say the least. To me, they tend to be different enough to the art they were trained in to not be a direct ripoff, so personally I don't see the issue.
Wait, ease of installation? As someone who had to walk away from a semi-homebrew, mildly complicated cloud storage setup recently, that's not the experience I had. Networks within networks, networks next to networks not talking to each other, mapped volumes, even checking logs is made more complicated by containerising. Sure, I'm a noob, but that only reinforces my point.
I think you are giving an overly simplistic answer, to the point of being misleading.
Stating that you need a VPN for pirating is blatantly false. It's perfectly possible to pirate without one. You can assume that people are asking if they should have one, but it is helpful to draw the distinction- including the why you believe they should use one. What does a VPN do, how is it helpful, what could happen if they don't, etc.
It's not necessarily the most annoying- but to give an impression that you are people you do not want to live next to, just crank some psytrance. I love me a good doof party, but holy shit I would not want to live next to one.
These extraterrestrial beings must be truly beyond our comprehension, if they can manipulate global economic systems by doing nothing more than changing the time on a clock in a car in New Jersey.
This is always my reaction to this theory as well. If someone asks "How did life on Earth start?", surely we can assume they actually mean "How did life start?"
It's like if a kid saw a baby, and asks their parents "Where do babies come from?", and their reply is "Oh that baby lives next door, it came from that house".
Personally, I think the dumbest person would be the one that took the time to be snarky about a comment someone wrote about a screenshot of something dumb.
Long standby shift at a hotel (think Hilton style). My employer (not the hotel) had a storage room that was just an old hotel room with all the fittings taken out- No bed or couch, just storage racks. I got super bored, took a nap in the old bathtub.
The staff bathroom of an abandoned diner on top of a mountain in Japan. I was cycle touring, didn't want to put up the tent if I could just go inside. The big windows and proximity to the road meant I didn't want to be using a flashlight inside, so I went into the staff bathroom, no windows. Also no toilets or anything, just a bare tiled room. Weird place to sleep, but I went into the main area to make breakfast, it was an amazing view. Bonus for not getting the tent wet.
It starts with understanding what you're spending money on. You can't control what you don't measure. Get some idea of what you are buying, be aware of the cost of things.
Even if you don't set down a full budget, you want to be able to go to the grocery store, say 'x dollars is all I need to spend' and then come out having spent less than that. If you don't know how much you spend on an average shop, that won't ever happen.
Second to this is any purchase that is a 'want' above 'y' dollarydos, sleep on it. Steam sale? Put what you want in your cart. Is it more than twenty bucks? Ok, no problem, I'll buy it tomorrow. Half the time you wake up and forget you ever wanted it. Sweet, money saved. Nice pair of shoes at the shop? Cool, I'll come back tomorrow and try them on. Gives you a chance to find it elsewhere, cheaper.
I haven't daily driven OSX for a few years now, but I still miss it every time I use a control panel on any other system. It's so functional, intuitive, logical, consistent, and not a pile of dogshit to look at. If I want to change my IP address, I go to network, ethernet, IP address. If it's greyed out, there is a lock icon right there. I click it, put in admin details, and then I can change the IP. All in the same window, in a consistent, logical flow.
I don't think I understand what you mean with the right click menu. Do you mean when right clicking, the menu that appears with things you can do there? Like right clicking a file, and being able to rename, or open with a different program, etc? Right click the desktop and get an option to change the desktop background? What's the problem there?
It's because the gui is designed to be navigated with the mouse. The idea that someone would use the mouse to select a file then use the enter key just didn't cross anyone's mind. If someone is using the keyboard in a GUI navigation, it's probably for text entry- such as search, or renaming a file.
